Chapter 686 That little thing about adult men and women
night
In a Western restaurant located in Pingcheng Financial District, melodious violins played slowly in the hall.
Sitting at a dining table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows was a bright-looking man and woman.
Outside you can look out at the night view of the Lanjing River. Colorful lights shine on the dark lake, making the waves sparkle and change rapidly.
Ever since he sat down, Jiang Mochen had been staring blankly at the night scene outside the window.
Gu Xiyan took a small bite of the steak and carefully observed the man's expression. He rarely spoke since he sat down. He only answered her questions. It seemed that he had no interest in her life after not seeing each other for several days.
Such a man is extremely unfamiliar to her. They seemed to have endless things to say before. Even if they were tired of being together every day, they would not feel bored, let alone such a situation of relative silence.
"Brother Mo Chen, did I disturb you when I suddenly asked you out today?"
There was a coldness between Jiang Mochen's brows, trying to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, but when facing the woman in front of him, his heart was extremely complicated and he didn't know how to speak.
"No, I just have some worries at work."
As he spoke, Jiang Mochen pinched his eyebrows, thinking about how to talk to Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan took the initiative to cut a piece of steak and handed it to Jiang Mochen's mouth: "You should pay more attention when eating, and leave your work to work during working hours. Your work is already very taxing on your brain, so you should relax wholeheartedly during your breaks.
"
Jiang Mochen forced a smile: "You are always so considerate and gentle."
After speaking, Jiang Mochen took the initiative to eat the steak handed over by Gu Xiyan. Gu Xiyan looked very happy.
"In order to become the most qualified wife in your mind, I want to give you all my tenderness and consideration."
The expressive eyes and touching words made Jiang Mochen at a loss and could only smile awkwardly.
"By the way, how is Uncle Gu's condition?"
When Gu Tingjun was arrested, Gu Xiyan looked very disappointed.
A few days ago, my mother and I went to the detention center to see my father. In less than half a month, he had lost a lot of weight. I really hope he can be released earlier, but unfortunately Nan Yi and her
They refuse to reconcile life and death. I really can’t figure out why the biological father and daughter would quarrel to the point of life and death."
On the surface, Gu Xiyan's words seemed to be worried about Gu Tingjun's situation, but she hinted between the lines that the reason why Gu Tingjun was arrested was all caused by Gu Nanyi, and because Gu Nanyi refused to reconcile, Gu Tingjun has not been able to reconcile until now.
It cannot be released yet.
"Actually, Nan can solve the problem with just one sentence, but she doesn't want to do it. We have used all the methods we can think of, and we have found all the connections that can be delayed, but the other party told us that it was because Yejia had called in advance.
Hello, Gu Tingjun’s matter must be handled in a business-like manner, so no one dares to interfere in this matter."
Hearing this, Jiang Mochen's face suddenly turned cold.
"Don't always put the blame on Gu Nanyi. I've learned a little about this case. It's true that Uncle Gu drugged Gu Nan and wanted to kidnap her and extort a high ransom from the Ye family. Even if he doesn't
Even if he likes this daughter, he can't do something as bad as a beast, so he can only bring it upon himself to be caught."
Gu Xiyan's expression was slightly shaken, and she stared at the man in front of her in disbelief, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
"Brother Mo Chen, do you think I said something about Nan Yi?"
Jiang Mochen took a deep breath: "Xi Yan, I know you are not a bad girl. You are very good and beautiful. In recent years, many rich young men have enthusiastically pursued you, so you should maintain the confidence you have in the past.
In my eyes, you are no worse than Nan Yi, but now you are staring at her wholeheartedly, as if you always like to compare with her, and always want to step on her head to feel like you are the winner."
"I didn't think so, you misunderstood me."
Jiang Mochen raised his hand to make a stop gesture. He took a long breath and stared at her very seriously.
"Xiyan, have you ever thought that you regard Gu Nanyi as your opponent, but she has never seen you in her eyes? It is not an exaggeration to say that Gu Nanyi has changed a lot in the past six months. She has completely changed.
She has become a complete stranger in our eyes, but one thing has never changed. She does not treat you as an enemy. She just used to treat you as a relative and now treats you as a stranger. I believe that as long as you don’t take the initiative to provoke her, she will
It won't be turned against you."
Gu Xiyan opened her mouth, but suddenly felt that she was unable to explain anything.
Because in the eyes of the man in front of her, she has become a narrow-minded, suspicious and jealous woman.
"Brother Mo Chen, I didn't expect that in your eyes, I'm such a bad person."
"That's not what I meant. You are excellent. There is no doubt about it, but I must admit the fact that Gu Nanyi is also excellent. Even her excellence is beyond my reach."
Witnessing the scene of Gu Nanyi and Elder Nathan talking with his own eyes, he felt a surge of admiration in his heart.
If it had been him at that time, when he saw the world's richest man standing in front of him, he would have been more excited than nervous. However, Gu Nanyi did not show any signs of timidity. On the contrary, Elder Nathan treated her with respect. If not
Knowing the identity of Elder Nathan in advance will make people mistakenly think that he is the old housekeeper beside her.
Gu Xiyan stared closely into Jiang Mochen's eyes and sneered secretly in her heart.
He might not even notice that when he mentioned that bitch Gu Nanyi, his eyes suddenly seemed to be colored.
Suppressing the jealousy in her heart, Gu Xiyan pretended to smile.
"Brother Mo Chen, you are right. I should put aside my prejudice against Nan Yi. I hope that one day the relationship between our two sisters can return to what it was before. I really want to drink red wine today, so please have a few drinks with me."
Jiang Mochen was worried and irritable, and wanted to numb himself with alcohol. He picked up the red wine glass, clinked it with Gu Xiyan, and drank heavily.
At the end of the meal, the steak in front of me was almost untouched, but the bottle of red wine quickly ran out.
Jiang Mochen felt that his eyes suddenly became a little blurry. He rubbed his swollen temples and looked at the girl opposite him with blurred eyes.
He shook his head and tried to wake himself up, but it was like a fire was ignited in his body, spreading rapidly along the blood vessels throughout his body, and waves of heat surged up in his lower abdomen. He felt his mouth was dry, and he grabbed his side randomly.
I held my head up and took a few big sips from my glass of water, but the feeling of dryness in my mouth was still strong.
"Brother Mo Chen, are you drunk?"
Jiang Mochen pulled his tie, revealing a smooth and white chest.
"Seems a little drunk."
"The hotel is upstairs. I'll book a room and rest here tonight."
Jiang Mochen's body was burned by the heat wave and became restless, and there was even a primitive desire driving him.
Thinking that she and Gu Xiyan were still lovers now, it would be okay even if they had sex, so she nodded.
Gu Xiyan picked up her handbag, helped him walk out of the western restaurant, and took the elevator straight to the presidential suite on the top floor.
